hey /toy/, I'm not very familiar with the board or toys in general as I've never owned one or bought one, and I've got a question.I've had pic related on pre-order from BBTS since november 19th, and at the time it said estimated delivery was fourth quarter 2020. Since then it's changed to first quarter 2021.This is one of the only toys I'm interested in since I like Patlabor a lot. I've been trying to be as patient as possible, but I have no idea how long it takes for stuff like this to become ready to ship, and I see that the unit 1 is up for grabs right now on their store. Also, unit 2/3 is no longer on the shipping schedule at the threezero site, so they must have sent it by now to BBTS, right?I just wanna know when stuff like this might be expected to come in. Will I be waiting another month or another 4 months? Should I just bite the bullet and get the unit 1 instead?
>>8724028They're only overpriced, it's a resident troll who will greentext troll, and then follow it up with a useless post about how they have tons of issues. This board is full of shitposters worse than shit eater greg and jin now with even less life to live
>>8724009well there IS A PANDEMIC going on so production for everything out there has got delayed. i never had problems with BBTS. i trust them more over amazon and ebay thats for sure. i bought most of my toys from them and i have been happy so far.
>>8724009I ordered Unit 1 from them and that came in no problem, and to my knowledge they both got put up on BBTS at the same time and are also supposed to release together as well I think. Something like this happened with the SHFSS Tajador, scheduled for release on BBTS in September and to this day they still have it up for pre-order and change it's release date every month. I emailed them a while ago about this and they said that it's all on the manufacturer's end and that that they just haven't sent BBTS the stock they were promised. Don't know how I ended up getting Unit 1 with no hitches but the whole situation is weird. That's my experience
>>8724009>>8728575I fucking love Patlabor
>>8728550I think that all the places with a good price are sold out.On a side note, I wish I could bring myself to sell my Yamatos. They look so outdated with those terrible proportions yet everytime I handle them, I find the extra gimmicks so cool I think I would miss them.
Pose your toys and post them with a caption“And Scorpion goes in for the kill.... oooh, that’s GOTTA hurt!”

>>8730545Yeah? For example that storm figure has vastly superior articulation to any of the McF MK 11 stuff.
I know one friend/co worker that buys toys and is afraid to open them so he hoards them in his car and and he even rented a storage room, he's 43 years old and lives with his parents therefore he doesn't want them to see how he spends his money, I keep telling him to stop collecting if you're just gonna leave them boxed in the trunk of your car and the storage room for the rest of your life, all messy and piled up boxes as well, any other advice I can give this guy. It seems he just buys them for the sake of it, he doesn't even know anything about the characters he's buying either, and he's amassed a ton.
>>8720888Is it climate-controlled? Would non climate control damage toys? I'm considering a storage unit to hold some books and toys.
>>8729877i imagine having a unit on the bottom floor in the center of the area would be best for storing shit.If you don't ahve a two story place and get a middle room, i wouldn't use it.
Your friend is goig to die of a heart attack in 15 years and then his parents home is going to be auctioned to some Youtuber that got a glimpse at the boxed toys and hell do a series of videos digging through his still sealed mint unpunched otoys collection.I cant wait to watch it and subscribe.
>>8720888When are you planning to enjoy them?

>>8732471aww that's cute!
What are the latest toys you picked up? I got this cookie monster figure from the 80s for only 2$ today
>>8731218Compared to the 200/300 listings on eBay I got mine for 100. No shackles though, that usually tacks on another 50 to 70 bucks because that was the thing kids kept losing. Also the feet are kind of worn out, but nothing that isn't fixable I'll get the shackles on my own time eventually though.
>>8731252Seems fair. I might just spring for a 2001 one eventually unless I find one for that price.
>>87312562001 one is alright, but one of the other appeals for the OG for me is it's sheer size. It's nearly as big as the kids who played with it. This thing was marketed as well.. a monster-sized plushUnless I remember wrong, the 2001 is a bit smaller to more standard plush size
>>8723944Got one of these for two bucks at a flea market. Rare to see Marsupilami merch in the west
>>8723944War for Cybertron designs are really good, even though I’m not a fan of Transformers. Found Scorponok, Optimus and Starscream on sale, so got the 3 of them for about 150 usd. I’ll probably get Elita, Shockwave and Megatron next and call it a day.
Bushido is a Jewish snow ninja who "wears an ancient samurai helmet as did his warrior father."OK, what? This character was new for 1993, so let's estimate that he was born in 1970. The last time it would make any sense for a Jewish warrior to acquire a samurai helmet would be an American in the Pacific Theatre of WWII looting a Japanese corpse. Was that Bushido's grandpa and his dad inherited the helmet?Or did Mr. Goldfine's wife cuckold him with a Japanese man who walked around wearing a samurai helmet?So many unanswered questions.
>>8731996His father doesn't need to be Jewish in order for him to be considered Jewish you fucking moron.
>>8731996My favorite part of GI Joe file cards is picking out and laughing at the ridiculous euphemisms for American Imperialism
>>8732005His legal father is where he'd have gotten the surname Goldfine, moron.
"The No-Kan-Doo ninja dynasty terrorized China"GI Joe defeated them "in the famous Sushi battle that had sweet and sour moments for both sides."

Did a good cartoon ever make you want to buy a "bad" toy?Pic Unrelated.
>>8726409>>8726444>>8726460It was a better time.
>>8728746well, he's invincible no invisible.
Well I wouldn't call it a good cartoon neccesarily (I do like the first two seasons but that is about it) but my sigular obsession with Peridot led me to buying every Peridot figure there is despite all of them being chibi statues with awful QC.>>8726460>>8726444>>8726409I still like the mini figs and Funko statues but yeah. The early horsefaggot days were a purer time.
>>8726409>>8726444>>8726460>laughed at bronies until through all of the cartoon's runI don't regret a thing

I have this one for IKEA and it does the job well especially because I have larger items it has just enough room without feeling too clustered.
>>8722688>Detolfs really are a budget friendly display case.>laughs in shipping and handling charge
I'm honestly surprised at how few options there are for just plain glass shelves and doors. You'd figure that there would be a lot more stuff like this.
>>8727903>not living near an Ikea
I saw a Dutch dude share some interesting ones on Twitter. Still budget but looks nicer than the Detolf. Just wish they'd do a full height variant of it.
>>8731215There's also a narrow variant. Honestly though I wish Moducase would do cases fit for stuff below one sixth scale. Their work is possibly the best I've seen but it's all just too damn big.
Have you found any good deals? Has Earthrise gone on sale everywhere? What are you hunting for?Old thread: >>8722776
>>8731960Cheers for looking into it, Not really sure what benefit communications systems would have in a fire, I could see that them being able to run in there and get people out quicker at the less intense parts.
>>8731981Hee>what benefit communications systems would have in a fire"Floor 5 is crumble, pls b careful""Reinforcements are on the way, hang in there""Yike, the fire's getting stronger on the west side (since I'm at a vantage point to observe everybuddy), cars 2 and 3, adjust position please">Inferno suddenly gets a call from a recovered Red Alert, who instructs him to move to the building's west upper floors where the fire will be easier to extinguishI can't imagine any specific situations considering the only fires I've been in are ones I've willfully slept through, but you'd probably need some coordination, even if it's one or two trucks' worth of people, I doubt in the chaos that everyone'll know exactly what they should be doing for the bigger picture.But just wondering if you need your own car for that, or what Red Alert's everyday life is, exactly...
>>8731988As far as I understand, fire chiefs show up ahead of the fire trucks to A.) give the firefighters a better idea of what they’re walking into, and B.) make sure random civilians aren’t freaking out and trying to fight the fire or run into it for whatever reason, so they don’t die.

Is the SS86 line any different from the WFC line? Are they missing the 3mm ports for weaponisers?Are most Kingdom ones weaponiser friendly?

Found on ebayToothpick joints
>>8728401Maybe if they made some new ones
>>8723005I don't get it. Were the pins on these that fragile that all of them needed to be replaced? And why toothpicks? I mean, if it works, it works, but it just seems like a strange solution to a problem.
Were the toothpicks used prior to being used as joints or are these boring, clean toothpicks?
>>8728734>I don't get it. Were the pins on these that fragile that all of them needed to be replaced?Yes. Old Jazware Sanics were terrible.>And why toothpicks?Laziness, most likely.These are the kind of people that populate radicons and see nothing wrong with cutting an import with a bread knife before painting it with oil paints.>>8723005>>8723007>remember that time i restored a kuro-chan figure before selling it>sold it for about 3 dollars less than its old retail accounting for inflation>am*ricans see nothing wrong with selling this for multiple times the old retail price
>>8728401Jakks will never make riders figures, and chaotix is more likely to be revived than riders. No one likes team babylon, and the only community it is for, is a small group like me that need something more complex than mariokart.
